I see some new nice people joining us here on #SciSky #Academicsky - Welcome!! 🎉 🙌 Here's some tips to get you started 👇
1) #starterpacks allow you to easily follow profiles you might be
interested in, and tailor your daily feed. You into #crystallography ? Here's one go.bsky.app/MoRWz57.

Oh yes, and I hope you'll soon find out it's still growing! Everyone: 📢 give a "Follow" to @momentum-transfer.com if you want to keep up with one of the most exciting partners of academia in accessible crystallographic services, especially #totalscattering ! 🌟 #crystallography #scisky #chemsky
Hello everyone. We heard there's a great materials science community on bluesky, so we've entered the arena. We'll be primarily posting educational content on X-ray scattering, synchrotron access, and about measurement opportunities and releases of data analysis tools for the community.

... and as if that wasn't special enough, I had the chance to give a 1-day workshop on single-crystal diffraction and #3Dtotalscattering to more than 30 (!) enthusiastic students — exactly on 'Fat Thursday'. Who else had free delicious paczki making a surprise appearance during their lectures? 😏

With more single crystals synthesized, I plan to resolve the remaining structures together. I am hopeful this final set will yield significant findings to cap off a productive year.🧪 #chemsky #MOFs #Single-Crystals #CoordinationChemistry

I've been proposing my solution for a decade now: if you publish one paper as corresponding or first author, you bring cake. I'll leave you predictions on what would happen, but certainly the number of publications would drop like a step function. #ChemSky #AcademicSky
Yesterday, I thought I'd single-handedly solved most of the problems in academic publishing, using a simple idea. I posted it on LinkedIn, but it's since gained a disappointingly small amount of traction.

Among the many new territories I will explore in 2026, an exciting one is joining IUPAC and contribute to global science and education in this capacity as well 😌

Cryptic combinations emerge, probably a message from a greater consciousness from a parallel (reciprocal?) dimension:
"Lattice scientists"
"Hope symmetry"
"Paper crystals"
"Disordered community"
and most importantly... "Soon Science" 😌
